AnomalousCarrotCake, I can understand how you feel. I also have a similar problem in that I can't stand to see animals abused or even hear about their sad stories so when I see that news feature is going to contain that, I quickly flip the channel as I can't stand to even look or hear about it. I don't have kids either, by choice but I also can't stand to see children hurt as I was abused as well. Try to avoid those articles the best you can as it sounds like it is something that you will always be triggered by. We all have our sensitivities so I do the best I can. I am sorry that you were not able to have a child. I hope that you can find some solace. Best wishes.
